If you, like many of us, thought your TV powered off during a Super Bowl ad break, you're not alone.
For about 30 seconds, TV screens went black during a commercial break during NBC's Super Bowl 2018 broadcast.
In a statement provided to Page Six, NBC explained the hiccup this way: "We had a brief equipment failure that we quickly resolved. No game action or commercial time were missed."
